This is going to be difficult! What do I write? I sat in front of my laptop starring at that blinking cursor for about an hour. My mind was blank! or rather should I say I was lost! I was lost in that feeling when you get a little high after consuming a boozy dessert! It was a wonderful feeling, but at the same time confusing too! The thought, what should I write!?

Well, I don’t take drinks except for occasional wine or breezer, that too once in a year or once in 2 years when we party! Yesterday, I had a call from my hubby saying one of his friend might be coming home in the evening, asking me if I can make some thing for him! Since it was late and I had to make something quickly, I started looking for something really simple and easy to make. I stumbled on one of the pudding recipe and it was from non other than my fellow blogger friend, Richa Gupta! She had a easy microwave pudding recipe that can be whipped up in 8-10 minutes. The definitely looked perfect for me. So, I decided to make pudding along with few other stuffs for the guest!

When I was getting ready to make these, my attention went to a Irish cream bottle that had been lying in the kitchen corner for about 8 months now. When my hubby went to Norway 8 months back, he had bought a bottle of Bailey’s Irish cream which we planned to open when friends come over to our place for a party. Some how we all have been really busy and not many parties have been happening. The Irish cream stayed in the same place for past 8 months, without being touched! It was sure crying out to be used!

It took me total 10 minutes to make these and I was so happy to see how gorgeous, shiny the pudding looked. The best part I didn’t even have to put them in the fridge for setting. The corn starch does it’s magic, they set quickly at room temperature. When the guest arrived after finishing the dinner I served these pudding, he and my hubby totally enjoyed it! I got a lot of praise for the dessert!

Since I had made only 3 cups of pudding last night and they got over, I couldn’t taste any. I decided to make a fresh batch, and also wanted to post it, so you my friend can make these serve it to your special ones or friends and enjoy these. You see all you need is 10 minutes!

This dessert is definitely adult dessert. Please do not feed these to your kids. And if you kid is behind your back for the dessert whip up one more batch without the baileys. And then you and your kid can sit down on couch and enjoy the dessert!

2. To prepare coffee decogtion, in a coffee maker(Indian coffee maker) add coffee powder and pour boiling water into it. Once decogtion is ready, pour it into a bowl, add Irish cream, mix well.

3. Now pour the coffee Irish cream mix and milk into the cocoa powder mix. Whisk well until no lumps are left. Place the bowl in microwave and cook it for 8 minutes on high power. Take the bowl out every 2 minutes, whisk well and continue, this is very important step to get shiny evenly cooked chocolate pudding.

4. Pudding will turn thick and that indicates it’s fully cooked.

5. Remove from microwave and add the chocolate, butter and vanilla extract and start whisking immediately. Whisk until all chocolate melts in and you get a nice gloss on the pudding.

6. Pour these immediately into serving cups or shot glasses and let them set at room temperature.

7. Just before serving whisk some whipped cream, add a dollop of it on top, sprinkle some shaved chocolate and add mint leaves!

Thank you Shailaja. Thank you very much. Do try it out. you can substitute with any liqueur like Kahlúa(coffee flavored liqueur, if using this do not add coffee as the liqueur itself has coffee in it), Bourbon, Whiskey or even Champagne. Please note i don’t know for sure how the taste would be with other liqueur as I haven’t tried it. Also if it is difficult to source liqueur, simply leave it out and make it with coffee and chocolate, they would be DIVINE as it is but minus the booze!
